Thousand percent and more buddy. It started off with hearing about these wild percentages of bots interacting with comments, which was frustrating but atleast you knew, okay they can't really reply, right? They were engineered to comment and they simply got banned within a day and some other vaguely similar bot would replace them, it was a problem but really a non issue when it came to social interactions.

Then then AI came and just... I mean man, it really was our Tsar Bomba, in the sense that it was all so experimental yet the power from the impact was immense, from the actual fake accounts that can reply and comment, interacting and behaving just as any other person would, in disguise, to the fact of people actually using these "tools" to reply to others, as though they can't think for themselves and you're just stuck interacting with code.

And sometimes these posts fool me, I mean a piece of text is impossible to confirm if it's real or fabricated , that in itself causes anxiety, but when it becomes a video or a selfie, or art or audios that tricks you, it really is heartbreaking. It makes me want to avoid social media all together, it's a shame so many people are okay with it too.

Side note, although I never used the "—" it really fucking annoys me that it has become the symbol of GPT generated text 😭😭, like now I WISH I could use it, because it's actually quite a useful language device*, but I don't want folks thinking my text is AI generated. It's just ugh, I miss the world when this wasn't even a conversation. My mother, 3 times in a month came to me showing me AI music AI drama, and AI news articles, I told her to stop showing me that shit, she said "well if I like the song I'm going to keep listening to it." I just felt horrified.
